Field Goal in Final
Quarter Nets Win
EVANSTON, ; IJL, Aug. 30-iff)-
By the slender margin of three
points, "the Chicago Bears, cham
pions of the National football
league, conquered the College All
Stars, 24-21, tonight to maintain
their unbeaten record in five spec
tacular engagements In the eleven-
game series.
The All-Stars played brilliantly
for three periods, holding leads of
14 to 0, and 21 to 14, but were ov
ercome when the Bears reached
their championship sparkle of play
in the third period when they tied
the game up at 21 to 21, and swept
into the lead midway in the
fourth period.
It: was a 13-yard field goal by
Pete Gudauskas, a Kentucky
Teachers' college guard, that gave
the Bears their margin of victory
in the last period. The goal came
after the Bears had marched 23
yards to the Satrs' 6, where the
Collegians stiffened. With Ensign
Sid Luckman, playing his last
game with the Bears for the dura
tion, holding the ball, Gudauskas'
try was from slightly to one side
of hte goal post The ball, how
ever, sailed through theu prights
and the All-Stars were finished.
